Gareth David Lloyd plays yet another character in an ill-fated workplace romance.
(He looks good in period garb though!)
Note: snicks normally covers Warehouse 13 for us, but he's dealing with some health issues at the moment. We might have just let this week's recap slide, but Gareth David-Lloyd makes an appearance and we haven't seen much of this popular actor since he so distressingly bit it in Torchwood.
So here's my short, sad stab at one of snicks' picture recaps. Please, fans of the show, could you augment this in the comments with your observations about last night's episode?
Prologue: A flatulent, barely glimpsed time traveling machine
leaves a trail of Sbd's across the past century.
Warehouse agents Myka and Steve are on the case, investigating the latest dutch oven attack.
They request an assist from the holographic projection of Helena G. Wells. (Don't ask.)
She recalls a similar...

The Gareth David Lloyd edition of the Torchwood comic is out in the United States today. While it’s nice to see our coffee boy, I hesitate to mention him around these parts.
Seth Walsh, the 13-year-old Tehachapi, CA boy who attempted suicide by hanging himself due to anti-gay bullying has passed away after ten days on life support. My thoughts are with his family, and the family of Asher Brown. I just can’t take another dead kid. Make it stop.
Lucasfilm is planning to announce the re-release of all six Star Wars films in 3D, beginning with The Phantom Menace in 2012. Ilm will be handling the conversion, which they swear won’t suck. I’m actually fine with Lucas screwing around with the three films he just did, they mean nothing to me. But for A New Hope on, he needs to stop destroying my childhood.
